I kept a baby gate on the kitchen door when I was not in there up until my
daughter could open that gate on her own at about age 3. I learned to do
this very quickly after she crawled in there, put chocolate syrup everywhere
then sprinkled salt in it. No more kitchen for her!

As I recall, they do make locking devices for stoves. I bought one but it
didn't work with the stove we had then. A cheapo gas model provided by the
military.
